Gershwin’s Second Rhapsody is a work for piano and orchestra that combines the vitality of jazz with symphonic sonorities. Syncopated rhythms, vivid harmonies, and songful melodies appear in turn, while the interplay between the solo piano and orchestra drives the music forward. A key attraction is the contrast between energetic and lyrical passages. In performance, it is important to maintain the overall flow while clearly defining the character of each section. Keeping the rhythms light and lively, while giving the melodies a gentle singing quality, brings out the work’s varied expression.
